Transformative pathways for synergising just biodiversity and climate actions

Project description

Enabling pathways to positive biodiversity changes

When the transition to climate neutrality is successful, local communities and nature will flourish. With this in mind, the EU-funded TRANSPATH project will identify interventions to bring about transformative changes at consumer, producer and organisational levels. By drawing on the diverse contexts in Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and Latin America, the project will engage with all stakeholders – those who affect and are affected by trade regimes and associated “greening” mechanisms. By studying alternative visions, values, actions and systemic interactions across scales and over time, TRANSPATH will find the leverage points that can trigger positive cascading biodiversity changes. It will also deliver a suite of transformative pathways with a toolbox of transformative interventions for triggering and enabling these pathways.

Objective

The global biodiversity and climate crises cannot be solved in isolation or by merely ramping up what is already being done. Urgent and ambitious transformative changes are needed in our economies and societies. Through inclusive deliberation TRANSPATH identifies leverage points and interventions for triggering transformative changes at consumer, producer and organisational levels. It seeks whole-of-society opportunities for achieving climate-neutrality whilst simultaneously allowing local communities and nature to flourish. TRANSPATH draws on diverse contexts in Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and Latin America, to engage with those who affect and are affected by trade regimes and associated ‘greening’ mechanisms. Through deliberation on alternative visions, values, actions, and their systemic interactions across scales and over time, TRANSPATH identifies leverage points that can trigger positive cascading biodiversity changes. Policy packages and other interventions are designed, to enable the emergence of leverage points at different scales of action in ways that changes the choice architecture underlying daily decisions. These interventions consider the synergies and trade-offs of actions across multiple people and places, and the role of incentives and political barriers to implementation. TRANSPATH delivers a suite of Transformative Pathways with a Toolbox of Transformative Interventions for triggering and enabling these pathways. A Transformative Navigation Toolkit guides practitioners on how to enable and navigate pathways, acknowledging that arriving at what constitutes a ‘transformative pathway' is also a product of an iterative and adaptive process that emerges and evolves over time. To implement these, TRANSPATH develops a multi-scalar network of activated agents of change, who can foster inclusive and legitimate decisions, and build capacity and willingness among their actor networks to collectively move forward on transformative pathways.
